Why Nothing Works Anymore

Gather round, children, and hear the tale of how complex interdependencies and connected systems brought down the world. (I stole the spirit of this from a tweet that I couldn't find. Credit to ether of reality.)

Long story short - AI sounds scary and frightening, when really a better term might be like "computer assistance" or "algorithmic knowledge" or "hyper specific problem solving with computer programs (HSPSCP)". OK, HSPSCP sounds like a highly restricted drug.

In case you're wondering who the big players are, this is a point-by-point source for lots of links and quick info about what's going on in space (and with the little humans thinking about it on earth).

Way's Notes

Whooboy!

Here I am in Minneapolis, eating a scone as it snows outside. I helped Miles Taylor set up the Glitch Art Is Dead exhibit, which was freaking awesome. Parties were had and strange houses and basements explored and I met the diverse people on Minneapolis.

I put a little personal post for patrons on the Patreon weird feed, including a secret about my scone. (Upsell? What upsell? Also, please don't pledge money for the scone secret.)

Getting to see the response to the glitch exhibition was really encouraging. I frequently worry that glitch (and net art in general) as a medium is inaccessible and difficult to engage with, but many people were all about it and completely into it. It really refreshed for me that glitch is a thing that deserves to be spread, which is a big part of why the thing you're reading right now exists. So, thank you, for being here. (And share it with your friends!)

P.S. - I know I have received some great content via email. Sorry, haven't had a chance to look through and get them into an issue since I'm out of town. Love all of you! Comments, rants, rambles, and hellos directly to [email protected].
